People across the state are feeling the snowy effects of this latest arctic blast. Alabama's north end may have been spared from the worst of these snowfalls, but any patches on the ground probably won't melt for another day.

Drivers should especially take note of this because the National Weather Service warns all open roads are susceptible to ice. Hazardous road conditions are causing several school delays and closings across the region. See the full list here.

Winds that were responsible for those extra chills will be calm between 5 and 10 mph today, and the current wind chill advisory expires at 9 a.m. In the meantime, the afternoon high will fall just short of 30 degrees with clear skies above.

Be ready for some dry air too. Relative humidity values will fall between 15 and 25 percent this afternoon. Therefore, a red flag warning against outdoor burning will be in effect between noon and 6 p.m.

Tonight will stay clear with a low near 12 degrees. Winds will stay calm.

Temperatures start their gradual climb tomorrow as they top out near 40 degrees. The low will be up to 30 degrees, a substantial jump from the last few nights.

Friday's high will jump up almost 10 degrees and then another 10 degrees on Saturday.
